Fargo police identify man found dead in suspect’s apartment

Police say they arrested the 29-year-old suspect after they said he called authorities to tell them he had assaulted the man who died.

Authorities say the Fargo man told an emergency dispatcher about 6:30 a.m. Friday that he was involved in an assault that resulted in a man’s death. Officers arrested the suspect at a gas station where he made the call.

Chief David Todd would not talk about what caused the man’s death or a possible weapon, but said it was the result of a physical altercation.
